Lake Wissota State Park, nine miles northeast of Chippewa Falls, includes more than a thousand acres of forests and open prairie bordering a 6,300-acre lake. Boating, canoeing, swimming, water-skiing, and using the miles of trails are popular during the warmer months, and ice fishing, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in the winter. The Old Abe Bike Trail, accessed at the junction of County Highways O and S, follows the Chippewa River between the park and Brunet Island State Park near Cornell, passing through agricultural and undeveloped lands.
